The Priesthood Power of Women

In the Temple, Church, and Family

De: Barbara Morgan Gardner

Narrado por: Barbara Morgan Gardner

With changes happening in the Church to focus on the paramount importance of the home, Latterday Saints are striving more than ever to understand and call upon the power of God. This includes a renewed emphasis on priesthood power. Some are surprised to learn that priesthood authority, privileges, and power apply to women as well as men. Our limited understanding often stems from the doctrine of the priesthood being taught too narrowly. This has led to many women feeling undervalued, voiceless, and marginalized regarding the priesthood. But it need not be that way. In The Priesthood Power of Women, author Barbara Morgan Gardner explores teachings of the living prophets and scriptures to increase our understanding of God's power as it operates in the temple, the Church, and the family. Her well-documented research demonstrates that women have more authority and power in all those settings than they may have previously supposed. In a compelling invitation to action, the author writes, "How will we as women use the priesthood power we have been endowed with in our homes, communities, and world if we don't know what it is, let alone how to call upon it?" This powerful book will help all members, especially women, more completely understand God's power and take full advantage of the powers, blessings, and privileges available to them in this mortal journey.

Learned so much

This is a book I'll be listening to many times. I didn't realize how much of the Priesthood I didn't understand.

Learning my role as a sister in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I found this book to insightful, spiritual, and supportive in understanding the priesthood. I highly recommend this book as it will guide and answer many of your questions.

So helpful

This book is so helpful. I loved learning more about the hierarchical vs Patriarchal priesthood. This is a great tool for all women as we strive to learn more about our Priesthood power and responsibilities

affirmation of our partnership with God

I was raised by a partner Mom who i saw first hand how she presided over our home
Best blessing ever feeling my worth as a woman in the church.

Author's expert knowledge and experience with the subject matter.

I loved the way Barbara was able to express the doctrines of the Priesthood with clarity, expertise and wisdom. I also appreciate her teachings are of a meat not milk variety. She doesn't stray beyond the Brethren and yet addresses questions not often addressed in Conference settings. There is no fluffy doctrine in this book. Barbara gives voice to questions and concerns that often only women can relate to and she does so with faith and conviction. Barbara adds a lot to gospel scholarship. I'm grateful to her for her hard work and willingness to share what she has learned over many years.
Thank you

Powerful Insights for women and men in the Church!

So grateful I found this book. It has opened my eyes to so many incorrect assumptions I’ve made, and reinforced many things I’ve come to understand. It will definitely be recommended reading for my wife and daughters and my son!
